Writes & Bytes: A Non-Virtual WWW

A wonderful video from TED Talks about the Wood Wide Web.

Scientist Suzanne Simard gives a lovely TED Talk about how trees communicate through mysterious fungal networks underground. Of course, it isn't mysterious to the trees.

A note to our readers about Writes and Bytes:

It's not all bad news out there, either in the bits and bytes of the web, or in our forests, on the ground, and sometimes even our legislatures!

Writes and Bytes are cross posts from news media, science articles, blogs, zines, and websites that we feel feature well grounded, informative, and educational articles about native plants, native wildlife, and the habitats that support them.

Each cross post has two links, one within the text, and a second one at the end of the introduction.
